Steffy: No, not until you understand what I'm saying! Quinn -- she's
dangerous! And you're lonely, and she's targeting you because that's what she
does! She just preys on people for her own crazy reasons! She has no conscience!

Eric: That's not what's happening here.

Steffy: Oh, my god. I can't believe I saw you kissing her! I don't want to
snap at you, but I need to know you are hearing what I'm saying. She is
extremely dangerous, and you're lonely. I'm not gonna allow you to have this
relationship with that -- that woman!

Quinn: I get seeing me here is a total surprise.

Wyatt: Back up. What did you just say about Eric?

Quinn: It's -- it's a really long story, but I... I have a man in my life, a
really wonderful man, and we've been seeing each other for --

Wyatt: Hold on! Steffy's grandfather?

Quinn: That's why I came to Monte Carlo. To be with Eric.

Brooke: You seem all right.

Ridge: I am all right. Why wouldn't I be all right?

Brooke: You ended your marriage with Caroline.

Ridge: Well, we both ended it. We talked about it, and we... we did the right
thing for everybody.

Brooke: Ridge, I know how crazy you are about her.

Ridge: Well, that's not gonna change for a while. But this journey we were
on, that's over now, and the time I spent with her, Douglas, I'm gonna always
treasure that, but it's, uh, it's time to move on, shift focus.

Brooke: To the children.

Ridge: Yes, to the children, and my dad. He just -- he seems lonely, and I'm
worried about him. So, what do we do now? Dad's been at a crossroads ever since
mom died, and I don't want him sitting in the guest house making cocktails for
two. It's weird.

Brooke: Eric has been rather lost without Stephanie. Even though he hides it
well. He went on those adventures with his brother. He had a good time. But he
always has that sadness in his eyes.

Ridge: Well, I don't want that, and I don't want him to be a cliché. I don't
want him to be the rich guy sitting on the couch because he lost his wife and
watching romantic comedies all day. We got to find him someone.

Brooke: Are you sure he's not seeing anybody?

Ridge: I don't know. There's been rumblings, but I-I think if he were seeing
somebody, he'd tell me.

Wyatt: You are not telling me this right now. [Chuckles] You -- you and Eric? No! I can't believe that! That's -- this
is, like, some trick or, like, a manipulation that you're doing right now.
You're, like, trying to blatantly hurt Steffy by telling this outrageous lie.

Quinn: No. No, honey, it's true.

Wyatt: Why would you do this? Like, what is wrong with you?

Quinn: No, Eric and I, we -- we just clicked.

Wyatt: Like, are you -- are you deliberately trying to sabotage my marriage
right now?!

Quinn: No, no! Honey, you know I would never do that to you!

Wyatt: After everything that has happened, after everything that we have been
through, now you do this! Eric?!

Steffy: You and Quinn.

Eric: She came to the house one night. I was alone.

Steffy: Oh, so she just pounced on you.

Eric: That's not what happened. She didn't have an ulterior motive. She had a
very clear agenda. She wanted her job back.

Steffy: That's -- that's what she does. She uses that as a cover to get in
through the door! It's --

Eric: We talked. We talked. We got to know each other. I enjoy her, Steffy.

Steffy: How much?

Eric: We're very close.

Steffy: [Sighs] [Scoffs] All this time... all this time I thought you were with someone
good, and you're -- I find out you're with Quinn, the worst person in the world?
She's a nightmare!

Eric: People are not all one thing, Steffy.

Steffy: [Voice breaking] Oh, my god. Oh, my god. You're defending her! I
love you. [Scoffs] But I need Quinn out of your life. I need it. You need to shut it
down, Granddad. End it.

Brooke: Now, if Eric's dating, I just wonder if it's somebody we know. So,
are there any red flags at Forrester? Like, is he lingering at somebody's desk
or maybe closed-door meetings with one woman in particular?

Ridge: Well, I didn't notice anything like that.

Brooke: So you just weren't paying attention. But you know what? I bet Pam
noticed.

Ridge: Yeah, you know, Pam probably did. I didn't notice because I was too
involved in my own life, thinking about...

Quinn: Eric is the most amazing man. I've never experienced anything the way
I feel when I'm with him, so -- so -- so respected and -- and -- and
appreciated.

Wyatt: Yeah, why does it -- why does it sound like I've heard this before?
Oh! That's right! You said the exact same thing about Liam.

Quinn: And I meant it about Liam. But this is different.

Wyatt: Same thing, mom, you said about Liam! You -- you and Eric. How -- how
-- how does that even happen?

Quinn: I went to him to ask for my job back.

Wyatt: Hoping...?

Quinn: Hoping he would rehire me.

Wyatt: Like, no -- no ulterior motives at all?

Quinn: No. Look, Steffy banished me, right? And I wanted back in. So I
thought I would go over her head. And I know I shouldn't have done that, but --
[Sighs] But look, you've got to believe me. I-I had no other thought in my
head when I knocked on Eric's door but to get my job back. But we had a
conversation and -- and it's just... it's so easy to talk to him, you know, and
we really -- we really liked each other. I mean, you know that. From the very
beginning, Eric and I have always gotten along.

Wyatt: Go on.

Quinn: He's lonely. He -- he wants companionship, and...so did I. And one
thing led to another --

Wyatt: Okay, you can stop now.

Quinn: [Sighs] Look, you have to believe me. I didn't target Eric. I-I-I
didn't. Everything that happened between us happened organically and naturally.
You -- you have to know that I just kept asking myself, "why me?" You know?
"Why? I don't deserve this." But then I started thinking. Right? I started
thinking about all the other women that have been in Eric's life, especially
Stephanie. You know, Stephanie's this strong woman with a dangerous edge. Does
that sound familiar?

Wyatt: [Chuckles]

Quinn: Eric likes bad girls. And I'm looking for a good man, someone to make
me feel safe and -- and -- and loved.

Wyatt: Loved? Oh, my god.

Quinn: There's something else I have to tell you.

Wyatt: Oh, great.

Quinn: Steffy knows.

Wyatt: What?

Quinn: I know. I know. I know it's really -- it's really bad, but she saw us
kissing outside of the hotel.

Wyatt: Are you kidding me right now?

Quinn: So I-I-I hid and then I ran, but she chased me, and then she caught
me.

Wyatt: Are you serious?!

Quinn: She slapped me.

Wyatt: Oh, my -- oh, my god. Wow.

Quinn: She -- she just kept yelling at me, right, and -- and she -- she was
going on and on about "I won't allow you to do this" and "I won't allow you to
do that," and she said that I was -- I was crazy and I was dangerous, but I just
-- I just kept trying. I just kept trying -- please -- to get her to understand
what was really going on with me and Eric, but she wouldn't listen to me.

Wyatt: How many times have we told you over and over again just to stay away
from her, stay away from her and her family?!

Quinn: I know.

Wyatt: Then just go!

Quinn: Honey --

Wyatt: I need to think! So just go back to L.A.! Please!

Quinn: The last thing I ever wanted to do is cause any trouble for you and
Steffy.

Eric: Sweetheart, I understand how, from your point of view, it could be very
upsetting to find out about Quinn and me.

Steffy: It's not my point of view. Everyone knows how psychotic Quinn is.
It's like... have you forgotten, granddad? She kidnapped Liam. She held him
hostage. We need a restraining order.

Eric: [Chuckles] That's not gonna be necessary.

Steffy: That's what we need to do. Look where we are. I told her to stay away
a billion times from me and my family, and her response -- she just seduces you
and she shows up in Monte Carlo. It's like she's basically telling me she can do
whatever the hell she wants!

Eric: Quinn and I have never been about you, Steffy.

Steffy: Granddad, granddad, it is about me! She's using you to get at me for
shutting her out! My god, granddad! You -- you need to just cut this psycho out
of your life! Please! Please just shut her out!

[Birds chirping]

Ridge: I can only imagine his loss.

Brooke: They shared many incredible years together. Wonderful times.

Ridge: Yeah. But it's time to move on. He has to find the woman to take away
the sadness.

Brooke: Maybe he already has.

[Seagulls calling]

Quinn: You're -- you're mad at me. And that's okay.

Wyatt: I asked you to leave.

Quinn: And -- and I will, but -- but I need you to know that what I'm telling
you is the truth. I'm in love with Eric.

Wyatt: I don't want to hear that!

Quinn: I didn't go looking for this! I never expected it! Why would I? [Voice breaking] It felt so good being treated like a woman of substance
for once, you know? A woman deserving of -- of -- of kindness and respect, and I
didn't want to let that go. And then Eric has just -- he's been so amazing that,
before long... I was a goner.

Wyatt: [Scoffs] Damn it. You've been searching for love your whole life,
and then -- and then you find something powerful with Eric.

Quinn: Yes. Yeah.

Wyatt: But -- but it can't be. Not with Steffy's grandfather. If you keep
seeing him, I will lose my wife. And -- and I-I-I can't even be mad at her,
because -- because she's given me so many warnings. I don't care if you're in
love with Eric. You can't be with him.

Steffy: It's no secret I despise Quinn. But it's not like I'm trying to take
anything from her like she did me. I'm trying to protect you. I don't think you
realize the depth of her insanity. And that's what scares me. It scares me that
you are so close to Quinn. Promise me that you'll end it.

Eric: I don't want to hurt you. I can see how upsetting this is for you.

Steffy: No, I'm not -- I'm not upset. I'm afraid. I'm afraid she's gonna hurt
you, that she's gonna hurt all of us. Because I've told her so many times to
stay away from my family, and look what she does. She zeroes in on you.

Eric: You think I allowed that? Is that what you think, that that's what I
wanted?

Steffy: I don't think you realize how bad things are with Quinn.

Eric: I know what she's capable of.

Steffy: Then why get involved?

Eric: Because she's good for my life. I think she's changed.

Steffy: [Exhales deeply] I don't want her to fool you. No, because the fact
that she came here, the fact that she came to Monte Carlo knowing how I feel,
and you've always been so protective of our family. But you're in danger. So
it's my turn to protect you. We're family. And the last thing I want to do is --
is regret that I didn't stop Quinn. I couldn't even imagine -- I can't -- I
don't want to imagine if Quinn hurt you. I don't. I can't.

Eric: I didn't want this to happen, but here it is. [Sighs] All right. I'll break it off with
Quinn. She's already on a plane
back to L.A. If she doesn't take it, I know what to do. Don't worry. I won't let
you down.

Steffy: [Chuckles] I love you, granddad. I love you.

Eric: Oh, Steffy, I love you, too.

Steffy: [Sighs]

Quinn: I know you said it was the last time, but I was lonely and I was
wondering if... maybe you were lonely, too.

Eric: I appreciate you.

Quinn: I wouldn't be here if you didn't.

Steffy: I don't want to snap at you, but I need to know you are hearing what
I'm saying! I'm not gonna allow you to have this relationship with that -- that
woman!

Quinn: I just thought it would be fun, you know? You and me in beautiful
Monte Carlo.

Eric: I was very glad you came.

Quinn: But not anymore? It's okay. I-I-I have a flight to catch.

Eric: It's for the best.

Quinn: Is that what Steffy thinks?

Eric: What do you think?

Quinn: I can only imagine what she said about me.

Eric: You can't blame her for what she's feeling.

Quinn: No. I have done things that I wish I hadn't, but I've changed. If she
would only give me a chance, if she would only hear me out, I know that we can
-- we can all get along, you know, everybody getting what they want.

Eric: Doesn't seem likely, does it?

Quinn: [Sighs] No. Not anytime soon, I guess. Steffy's really angry at me.
You probably are, too. I can make this better, Eric. I realize now that it was a
huge mistake coming here. I-I just -- I missed you so much. I know it sounds
crazy 'cause you were barely gone, but -- but I needed to be with you because...
because I'm in love with you. I have made a big mess out of things. My mess. But
I know we can make it through if I know that this isn't over. Please tell me,
Eric, this isn't the end.

[Door opens]

Wyatt: You don't even have to say anything, okay, because she just left here,
and I swear to god, Steffy, I had no idea what was going on.

Steffy: She is the most destructive human being I have ever known.

Wyatt: I know that, and I am sorry.

Steffy: She is poison! Whatever justification she gave you, she targeted my
grandfather because -- because he's vulnerable, and she did it because she wants
to get back at me! I have told her over and over and over again to stay away
from my family, and she just -- she goes after my grandfather! She doesn't
listen to you! She doesn't listen to me!

Wyatt: Steffy --

Steffy: She doesn't listen to anyone! I thought you had this under control!

Wyatt: I did --

Steffy: I thought you were gonna do something!

Wyatt: I did!

Steffy: Because when we got married, I told you I did not want this lunatic
in my life anymore wreaking havoc!

Wyatt: I know that! I heard you!

Steffy: Wyatt, I know she's your mom. And I know you love her. But you're
blind. You should be out there.

Wyatt: I --

Steffy: You should be looking for her because I'm sure she's lurking outside
of his door!

Wyatt: She's not.

Steffy: Oh, really? How do you know, huh? How do you know that?!

Wyatt: Because she came here and she said she's going back to L.A., all
right?

Steffy: Wow. See, that's the problem right there. Quinn is a liar, and you
just -- you just take it face value! I'm not doing this anymore! I am not living
under this threat of Quinn! Like, I didn't -- I didn't sign up for this! I
didn't sign up for her when I married you!

Wyatt: I know that.

Steffy: Everything she's done to me, to you, to Liam, and now she's targeting
my grandfather! I-I-I don't know how much more I can take. [Sighs]
